That's exactly what I am also getting with 20161216. As it turns out the
patch has changed slightly (my revert did not apply after a rebase), and
the symptoms changed against 20161215, but the fix is the same:
reverting gives me back a working system.

This patch really should be reverted for now. Like Thierry I am
available to test further iterations.
